Chargement... Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled--and More Miserable Than Ever Beforepar Jean M. Twenge

Possibly because there was less regurgitation of statistics from others... or maybe the author was more emotionally involved. She definitely had more helpful advice than the end. I found it interesting to contrast the two. In iGen it seemed like Millennials were the gold standard. Here there was plenty to be concerned about. It did seem contradictory at one point-- she mentions that millennials all expect to be CEOs asap which, she rightly says, is an erroneous assumption. But then, later on, she interviews a woman who is 32 and "occupies a high position" in her company and is denied further maternity leave. So is it a conflict of statements there. I possibly resonated with this because I am a millennial. In fact, I was surprised at how much still seemed familiarly "right" to me. So adjust for that bias.

The Associated Press calls them "The Entitlement Generation," and they are storming into schools, colleges, and businesses all over the country. They are a generation with sky-high expectations and a need for constant praise and fulfillment. Psychologist and social commentator Twenge documents the self-focus of what she calls "Generation Me"--people born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s--and explores why her generation is tolerant, confident, open-minded, and ambitious but also cynical, depressed, lonely, and anxious. Using findings from the largest intergenerational study ever conducted, Twenge reveals how profoundly different today's young adults are, and makes controversial predictions about what the future holds for them and society as a whole. But Dr. Twenge doesn't just talk statistics--she highlights real-life people and stories and vividly brings to life the hopes and dreams, disappointments and challenges of Generation Me.--From publisher description.
